Activating Captions

A close up of an installation of vinyl text on a dark window. The text is yellow and in handwritten in blocky, uneven capitals. A reflection of a person taking the photo with an iPhone is behind the text.
A glass storefront set in a concrete building. Flanking the glass doors are two windows filled with yellow vinyl text. Above the door it says “rile*” and “ARGOS” and through the glass, I see some bookshelves and boxes.

  • About:
    Site-specific intervention on the facade of the ARGOS building. The work, Rue des Commerçants 62, describes and captions the ambient sounds of the site where it is installed: the front window of Rile*books facing Rue des Commerçants in the ARGOS building.

    commissioned by Activating Captions.
